I still have a huge backlog of unanswered emails to the list. In other 
words, I'm most likely to be blamed for the lack of a reply.

You cannot (easily).

Yes, such an operator does not exist.

Yes, you'll need hacks like that for now. Very few headers are numeric 
(size and spam scores) and I simply never implemented numeric 
comparisons (but numeric message ordering does work). The only general 
workaround would be to create a bundle command which could use the 
virtual #size header to do the comparison and move itself, but this is 
probably overkill (too much work for what should be much simpler).
